Description

POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT, CONTROLLING METHOD AND ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT TECHNICAL FIELD
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of voltage conversion, and more particularly, to a power supply circuit, a controlling method and an electric equipment.
BACKGROUND
This section introduces aspects that may facilitate better understanding of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the statements of this section are to be read in this light and are not to be understood as admissions about what is in the prior art or what is not in the related art.
In the field of power conversion, a switching element and a transformer may be included in a power supply circuit. The switching element may be controlled to be switched on or off, a voltage generated in a primary wind of the transformer changes, and an induced voltage is generated in a secondary wind of the transformer. The voltage generated in the secondary wind will be rectified and filtered, so as to generate an output voltage.
Therefore, the input voltage is converted into the output voltage. The output voltage may change according to the switching frequency and duty ratio of a controlling signal that controls the switching element.
The controlling signal may be generated and provide by a controller. The controller may be powered by an auxiliary winding that is coupled with the primary winding.
Fig. 1 is a diagram of a power supply circuit. As shown in Fig. 1, the power supply circuit 10 includes a switching element S, a transformer T, at least two rectifying diode D1 and D2, an auxiliary winding L3, and a controller 100.
The switching element S is controlled by the controller 100. The transformer T  includes a primary winding L1 and a secondary winding L2. The auxiliary winding L3 is coupled to the primary winding L1, and voltage will be generated at one terminal of the auxiliary winding L3. The controller 100 is powered by the voltage generated at the terminal of the auxiliary winding L3.
The primary side 10a of the power supply circuit 10 may have the topology of LLC resonant circuit, LC resonant circuit or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) circuit.
The secondary side 10b of the power supply circuit 10 may include at least two rectifying diodes D1 and D2, which is used to rectifying voltage generated on the secondary winding L2. As shown in Fig. 1, the rectifying diodes D1 and D2 are contained in a half bridge rectifier. Capacitor C can be used to filter the output voltage V out. However, in another example, the rectifying diodes D1 and D2 may be contained in a full bridge rectifier.
For the power supply circuit 10 in single fault test to get safety approval, one rectifying diode in D1 and D2 will be open, the other rectifying diode becomes very hot to exceed limit because more current flow through the other rectifying diode. When one rectifying diode is open, the power supply circuit 10 can still work, another diode will get hot and fail in safety test.
In related art, there are two solutions for solving the problem of one rectifying diode getting hot.
The first solution is to arrange additional diode in parallel with D1 or D2. Fig. 2 shows one solution. As shown in Fig. 2, at the secondary side of the power supply circuit 10, diode D11 is arranged in parallel with D1, diode D21 is arranged in parallel with D2. When diode D1 or D2 is open, the diode D11 or D21 which is in parallel with diode D1 or D2 can still work. Therefore, the rectifying diode will not get hot.
The second solution is to use low withstanding voltage Schottky diodes as the rectifying diodes. When one Schottky diode is open, another Schottky diode will breakdown by high reverse voltage.
SUMMARY
Inventors of this disclosure found the two solutions above mentioned have their respective drawbacks: for the first solution, the additional diodes of D11 and D21 will bring additional cost; for the second solution, Schottky diode will bring higher cost, furthermore, when load condition changes, the second solution will not work well, thus the reliability is low.

First aspect of embodiments
A power supply circuit is provided in a first embodiment.
Fig. 3 is a diagram of a power supply circuit in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 3, the power supply circuit 300 includes a voltage convertor circuit 301, a controller 302, and a voltage generator 303.
In the embodiment, the voltage convertor circuit 301 is configured to convert an input voltage Vin into an output voltage Vout. The voltage convertor circuit 301 may have a primary side 301a and a secondary side 301b. The voltage convertor circuit 301 may be also configured to provide a defined output current.
The power supply circuit 300 with the voltage convertor circuit 301 may form a part of a lighting device driver. A lighting device, e.g. one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) , may be connected to the output voltage Vout. In an alternative embodiment a further driver circuit like a buck converter or buck-boost converter may be connected to the output voltage Vout and may be used to drive a lighting device. The output voltage Vout may be provided by output terminals in order to be able to connect a light device to the power supply circuit 300.
The voltage convertor circuit 301 may be also configured to provide a stable output voltage Vout at a defined output current. The output current may be defined depending on the intended use of LED as lighting device.
The primary side 301a has at least one switch unit Q3 which controls the primary side 301a to rectify the input voltage Vin. The secondary side 301b has at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81, which are used to rectify voltage coupled from the primary side 301b.
In the embodiment, the controller 302 is configured to generate a controlling signal to control the switch unit Q3.
The voltage generator 303 is configured to be coupled to the primary side 301a. The voltage generator 303 is used to generate a voltage, and provide the voltage to a power supply terminal VDD (pin number 6) of the controller 302.
In the embodiment, when the at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81 is normal, the voltage provided to the controller 302 is an operating voltage of the controller 302, and the controller 302 generates the controlling signal by being provided with the operating voltage.
In the embodiment, when one of the at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81 is open, the voltage provided to the controller 302 is shutdown voltage, and the controller 302 stops generating the controlling signal by being provided with the shutdown voltage.
According to the embodiment, when one of the at least two rectifying diodes is open, the controller 302 stops generating the controlling signal and the power supply circuit 300 will stop work. Therefore, the rectifying diode will not get hot, the cost is low and the reliability is high.
In the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the voltage convertor circuit 301 may further include a transformer T3, a primary winding T31-a is contained in the primary side 301a, and secondary windings T32-a and T32-b are contained in the secondary side 301b.
The switch unit Q3 may include at least two switch elements Q30 and Q31, the at least two switch elements maybe MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) or BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) .

The primary side 301a of the voltage convertor circuit 301 may have the topology of a half bridge circuit with transformer T3, e.g. LLC resonant circuit, LC resonant circuit or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) circuit. However, the embodiment is not limited there to, the primary side 301a may have other kind of topology.
The output voltage or output current may change according to the switching frequency and/or duty ratio of a controlling signal provided by controller 302 that controls the switching elements Q30 and Q31.
In the embodiment, the secondary side 301b of the voltage convertor circuit 301 may include a half bridge rectifier. The at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81 may be contained in the half bridge rectifier. However, the embodiment is not limited there to, the secondary side 301b of the voltage convertor circuit 301 may include a full bridge rectifier, and the at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81 may be contained in the full bridge rectifier.
In the embodiment, the secondary side 301b of the voltage convertor circuit 301 may further include capacitors C80~C83, and resistors R80~R83. The function of these elements can be referred to related arts.
In the embodiment, shown in Fig. 3, the voltage generator 303 may include: an auxiliary winding T31-b, a first diode D32, a second diode D34 and a Zener diode Z31.
In the embodiment, the auxiliary winding T31-b may be arranged on the primary side 301a, and arranged between a first node N1 and a second node N2. The auxiliary winding T31-b couples to the primary winding T31-a of the primary side 301a of the voltage convertor circuit 301.
The first diode D32 is arranged in a first branch B1 connecting the first node N1 and the power supply terminal Vdd of the controller 302.
The second diode D34 is arranged in a second branch B2 connecting the first node N1 and the power supply terminal Vdd of the controller 302.
The Zener diode Z31 is arranged in the second branch B2.
In the embodiment, the operating voltage is provided through the first branch B1, and the shutdown voltage is provided through the second branch B2.
As shown in Fig. 3, the cathode of the second diode D34 is coupled to the first node N1, the anode of the second diode D34 is coupled to the anode of the Zener diode Z31.
As shown in Fig. 3, the power supply circuit further includes a resistor R55. The  resistor R55 is arranged in series with the second diode D34 and the Zener diode Z31 in the second branch B2.
As shown in Fig. 3, the anode of the first diode D32 is coupled to the first node N1, and the cathode of the first diode D32 is coupled to the power supply terminal Vdd of the controller 302.
As shown in Fig. 3, the second node N2 may be coupled to a ground potential.
Fig. 4 is a diagram of the output voltage Vout when the power supply circuit is in normal operation. Fig. 5 is a diagram of the output voltage Vout when one rectifying diode is open.
When the at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81 are normal, the power supply circuit 300 is working in a normal operation. As shown in Fig. 4, the output voltage Vout is symmetrical in a lower level, for example, the maximum Vout in reverse direction is -9.33V, the maximum Vout in forward direction is 8.92V.
The operation voltage corresponding to the Vout in forward direction can be generated at the first node N1 of the auxiliary winding T31-b. The operation voltage can be in forward direction, and the first diode D32 conducts, so that the operation voltage can be provided to the power supply terminal Vdd through the first branch B1.
Besides, when the power supply circuit 300 is working in a normal operation, a voltage corresponding to the Vout in reverse direction can be generated at the first node N1 of the auxiliary winding T31-b. This reversed voltage is not higher than the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode Z31, hence, the reversed voltage will be blocked by the Zener diode Z31 and will not be provided to the power supply terminal Vdd.
When one of the at least two rectifying diodes D80 and D81 is open, for example D80 is open, the power supply circuit 300 is working in an abnormal operation. As shown in Fig. 5, the output voltage Vout is unsymmetrical, and the output voltage Vout in reverse direction is much higher than that is shown in Fig. 4. For example, the maximum Vout in reverse direction of Fig. 5 is -53.5V, the maximum Vout in forward direction of Fig. 5 is 14.45V.
According to Fig. 5, the shutdown voltage corresponding to the Vout in reverse  direction can be generated at the first node N1 of the auxiliary winding T31-b. The shutdown voltage can be in reverse direction. The maximum Vout in reverse direction is very high, the reversed voltage at the first node N1 can be higher than the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode Z31, and the Zener diode Z31 can be in a state of breakdown.
Therefore, the second diode D34 conducts, the power supply terminal Vdd will discharge through the resistor R55, the Zener diode Z31, and the second diode D34. In another word, the reversed voltage generated at the first node N1 can be provided to the power supply terminal Vdd through the second branch B2.
In the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the controller 302 may have: terminal Vs (pin number 1) , terminal Comp (pin number 2) , terminal Tx1 (pin number 3) , terminal Tx2 (pin number 4) , terminal Rc (pin number 5) , terminal GND (pin number 7) , and terminal Cs (pin number 8) .
The terminal Vs is inputted a voltage signal corresponding to a voltage at the auxiliary winding. The voltage signal can be generated by a network including diode D33, capacitors C35, C40, C39, and resistors R49, R44, R46.
The terminal Cs is inputted a current signal corresponding to a current on the primary winding. The current signal can be generated by a network including resistors R32~R36, J3, and capacitor C35.
The terminal Rc is coupled to an external network including resistors C38, and capacitor R40. The terminal Rc is used to set the minimum switching frequency of the controlling signal.
The terminal Tx1 and Tx2 may output the controlling signal to the switch unit Q3, for example, the terminal Tx1 and Tx2 may output first controlling signal SN1 and second controlling signal SN2, respectively. The terminal Tx1 and Tx2 may be coupled to two terminals of a primary winding of a control transformer, and secondary windings of the control transformer will be used to turn the switch elements Q30 and Q31 on or off.
As shown in Fig. 3, functions of other elements listed in Fig. 3 can be referred to the related art.
In the embodiment, PSR (Primary Side Regulation) can be performed by the  controller 302 in the power supply circuit 300.
According to the embodiment, when one of the at least two rectifying diodes at the secondary side is open, the voltage in reverse direction will be provided to the power supply terminal of the controller, and the controller stops generating the controlling signal and the power supply circuit will stop work. Therefore, the rectifying diode will not get hot, the cost is low and the reliability is high.
Second aspect of embodiments
A controlling method of a power supply circuit of the first aspect of embodiments is provided in an embodiment. The same contents as those in the first aspect of embodiments are omitted.
Fig. 6 shows a flowchart of a controlling method 600 of the power supply circuit.
As shown in Fig. 6, the method 600 includes:
Block 601: a voltage convertor circuit converting an input voltage into an output voltage;
